In 2012 Richard Mack ran against Lamar Smith incumbent Congressman for Texas District 21 which includes Austin, both spurned the campaign underway to secure just convictions for the murder of Palestinian Christian Riad Hamad.

Who had written to Austin newspapers criticizing US / Israeli policy in the Middle East, whose bound tortured body was recovered from Lady Bird Lake in Austin Tx. April 18, 2008.

The Cho family apologized to the people of the United States, for the murder of 32 students at Virginia Tech University, so I think the right thing is for the Bush family to apologize to the people of Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan for the war crimes committed against them, by its delusional son President Bush.

It is the right thing to do. It is the ethical thing to do. It is the legal thing to. It is time for remorse and restitution for the people of Iraq and Palestine.

Antone was no saint, it is really unfortunate that the American-Statesman treated Clifford Antone like a saint, Antone was a convicted drug dealer, who contributed to the destruction of hundreds and thousands of lives, and ruined many youths. Has the Statesman no shame? Stop treating him like a hero and tell the truth for a change.

Practicing faith freely, I heard with disgust the statement by President bush in China, encouraging the Chinese government to allow Christians to practice their faith freely.

The statement is outrageous, considering the plight of the Palestinian Christians who carried the torch of Christianity for centuries, and taught the Western world the message of Christianity.

It is an absolute farce, for the president to call for the Chinese government to open the doors for the Christian evangelists, and Christian Zionists, to proselytize their brand of Christianity in China, when the Palestinian Christians cannot even reach their churches to pray, and celebrate their holidays.

The Palestinian Christians, who once constituted more than 20 percent of the population of Palestine, are less than 2 percent of the population today, because of the economic, political and religious restrictions imposed on them by the Israeli military occupation.

The President has no credibility, in calling for the Chinese to allow converted Christians to worship freely, when the true Christians and the custodians of the Holy Land in Palestine, are suffering at the hands of the Israeli occupation.

Riad Hamad, Austin

Victor Thorn / Alex Jones.

The APD says he suicided then bound himself, suspects Alex Jones & Victor Thorn were in Austin then, both should provide detailed timelines for all their movements in the hours leading up to the discovery of Mr Hamad’s body!

Dr Dremali described the condition of Hamad’s body, "it appeared as if he had been attacked by an animal in the jungle, he was cut from the shoulder to the stomach, his arms were cut and his face was bruised, the rear of his skull was bashed in and his brain was missing."

Alex Jones speculated Hamad’s brain was missing because he may have been shot in the head .. Dr Dremali would not speculate if Riad Hamad was assassinated, although it is now obvious considering the condition of the body he did not commit suicide.

If indeed Riad Hamad was assassinated this would dovetail with Israel’s declaration they will target assassinate “Palestinian extremists,” apparently including American school teachers, who send textbooks to Palestinian school children.

Obviously a terrorist event .. Israeli intelligence according to United Press International, considers violating U.S. sovereignty and murdering US citizens as “operational maneuverability.”
